Chapter 1047: Fire and Fury
Constantine Estate, Uptown Quarter.
An hour had passed since Ravenfell was attacked by the cultists. At the start of it all, Adam had managed to teleport the young contestants safely. But after that, things started to go downhill.
First, his manor was destroyed. But its destruction gave birth to the stone golem, which Adam used to kill the grotesque flesh golem.
And now... he was surrounded by cultists from all sides.
Worse yet, more and more of them were pouring into the estate. The mana barrier had long since been taken down, and now nothing was stopping them.
Moreover, since Adam had been one of the Cult’s primary targets in this battle, a significant number of their forces, Mana Vortex and Mana Liquefaction Magi alike, were focused on him. They knew he was within the estate, so it was swarming with cultists.
Of course, as someone with decent attainments in the School of Summoning, Adam could always teleport away from here. That would spare him a great deal of trouble. He wouldn’t have to go through the brutal slaughter.
But he couldn’t leave...
He had to remain here and take out as many cultists as he possibly could.
While hidden in the shadows, concealed by illusion magic, he continued to murder one cultist after another. The corpses continued to pile up, and the terror in the hearts of his enemies grew.
But at the same time, he could also hear the loud and desperate wails of the city’s residents outside his estate walls. Through his Sphere of Resonance, he could tell... he could tell that they were being slaughtered out there, and their souls...
They were rapidly being absorbed by the lotus! The number of deaths in his vicinity made him shudder. This was a complete slaughterhouse!
